At our animal hospital, our philosophy is simple: we want to help pets and their owners share a happy life together. Since 1992, Dr. Frank Skipworth and his receptionist, Rhonda, have been working together to serve local pet families, nurturing bonds between people and their companion animals and building trusting, long-term relationships within the community.
In 2008, Skipworth Veterinary Clinic was established here in Richmond, a place that we are proud to call our home. Our love of pets shows in everything we do-from taking extra time during appointments, to keeping our doors open after-hours to accommodate emergencies, to working within our clients' budgets. As a family-oriented animal hospital in Richmond, we understand the importance of your four-legged family members, and pledge to give them only the best possible care we can offer.
We're a full-service animal hospital, which means that we offer everything from surgery, to dental care, to ultrasound. We care about your pet's well-being as much as you do, and hope to be their primary veterinarian for life.

To help your pet live their longest, healthiest life, we recommend bringing them in for a wellness exam once a year.
Since your pet's health is always our highest priority, we offer a comprehensive wellness program that is designed to meet all of their most essential needs.
Pet wellness care also serves as a preventive measure against various illnesses and diseases that your companion may encounter during their lifetime.
Our dedicated veterinarian and support team here in Richmond firmly believe that routine wellness exams and related treatments are key to keeping your pet as healthy as possible.

Dog and cat vaccines are an essential ingredient in your pet's wellness care regimen.
They are one of the most effective forms of disease prevention, and can keep your pet healthier, longer.
We also offer vaccine titers here in Richmond, to assess your pet's immunity levels and determine whether vaccinations are absolutely necessary.
As with human vaccines, pet vaccinations stimulate the immune system into producing antibodies to fight off intrusive viruses.
When your veterinarian first meets your pet, they will help you decide which vaccines will be the most beneficial for their health.

Along with wellness and preventive care, dental care is a fundamental component of your pet's long-term health plan.
Many pets have poor oral hygiene due to lack of brushing and professional cleanings, which can result in gingivitis or even gum disease.
Gum disease occurs as a result of calculus (hardened plaque) spreading below the gum line, attacking the tooth's supporting tissues and eventually leading to the loss of that tooth.
Our veterinary team in Richmond understands the importance of cleaning your dog and cat's teeth, because poor oral hygiene can have a detrimental affect on other parts of their body.

A complete evaluation of your pet's health would not be possible without our in-house diagnostics capabilities here in Richmond.
A routine physical exam can help us detect lumps, bumps, ear infections and other problems, but it does not tell us what is going on with your pet's various internal systems.
Our pet diagnostics equipment is not only important for routine wellness visits; it can also help us detect parasites and signs of disease in sick pets urgently in need of care.
When time is of the essence, our team can detect, diagnose, and plan treatments for a variety of conditions in pets within the same day.
